VOIP has stopped working

[CyrilH]

Hi,

Recently changed my broadband/phone package to full fibre. Current set up is as follows:

- ONT to Eero

- Eero to netgear switch.

- Grandstream voip to switch.

My phone worked well until today. Can't make or receive any calls although there is a tonality. I have tried resetting the router and the grandstream to no avail. Also plugged the grandstream straight into the Eero to check the connection. Same issue.

Spoken to talktalk who talked me through a few things but that didn't work and the issue has now been "escalated".

Meanwhile, if someone has a brilliant idea or have been through a similar problem and got it fixed, it would be great if you could share how you got things fixed.

Many thanks

Hi,

Can you please update your community profile to include your:

• Name
• Telephone number
• Alternative contact number

We'll then look into this further. Please do not post this information on this thread. Once you've updated your profile please post in your topic to confirm it's updated.

Thanks

Sadly it is not working.

Although I have a mobile phone, the reception is patchy and I really need access to my landline.

Would it be easier if you sent a tech over ?

Many thanks

Hi CyrilH,

If you could try this again please, power down the eero and also factory reset the DVA and please let us know if there is any change please.

Thanks

Hi David,

I'm sorry to hear this. Please can you create your own topic and we can investigate this further for you.

Thanks

Michelle

[CyrilH]

Yes. Did it yesterday. Not since though.

Thanks for the guidance, Michelle.

I have now done factory resets of the TT Wi-Fi Hub** - it's not an eero - and the DVA**. I then switched everything off and back on again, but unfortunately nothing has changed: calling my mobile results in either disconnection after a few seconds or immediate 'unobtainable' beeping; calling the landline from my mobile results in silence then a double beep and disconnection.

So what next, please?

Thanks.

David

** By the way, not to my surprise the user guides for the these devices, say the reset must be done with the power ON.

Hi DGEC4,

Can I just confirm, did you also do a factory reset of the digital voice adapter? (DVA)

Thanks

Michelle

Good morning, Michelle (or colleague)

My situation is almost exactly the same: no incoming calls and attempted outgoing calls either drop out few seconds after being answered or are immediately blocked by a continuous beep.  On the Service Status page last evening the 'fault notice' update said the incident had been resolved, that there wasn't the case then and isn't now. I've tried switching everything off and back on several times last night and this morning, frustratingly to no avail, which is causing me serious problems that need to be resolved URGENTLY, please! The TT system couldn't do a line check, apparently because as well as VOIP the old (unrelated) analogue cable is still present in my house. Thanks - David

Hi again,

I was just about to post back on your topic as the team have just advised us the following,

We’re aware that some Full Fibre Digital Voice (VoIP) customers are currently unable to make and receive  calls.

Latest update: 08:10am 13th December 2023

Service has been restored, we recommend if you're still being affected, to power down both the eero router and the Grandstream digital voice adapter and use the factory reset pin, this will clear the issue.

Hi Michelle,

Still not able to make calls.

Spent some time with tech support yesterday and tried pretty much everything, from disconnecting, resetting, swapping phone etc.

Would you be able to send someone over to have a look ?

That aside, fibre internet works well but I do need access to a landline.

Many thanks

Good morning,

This incident has now been resolved. Is your VOIP service now working ok?

Thanks

Michelle

[CyrilH]

Thanks Chris,

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I was not aware an incident had been reported.

Will wait until it is resolved before switching the ONT off in case I have no luck.

All the best

Hi CyrilH,

You could try switching the ONT off for 30 minutes and then switch back on and retest, but an incident has been raised for problems making and receiving calls on VoIP, please find details and update here - Service Status | TalkTalk Help & Support
